Anki might be worth your while if you are trying to learn something.
Load it up with a flashcard deck of something you want to remember, and it'll show you those flashcards. Lots of people use it to learn languages, but it's also good for anything that requires memorisation.
Prosecco Stormfront at it again.
Exactly. Don't do what Labour is doing, trying to thread the needle and just pissing off everybody.
"Gender critical" people chant "sex cannot be changed" like a mantra.
It's not meant to make sense. It's not even a real argument, because it's overly vague and doesn't even attempt to address the arguments of their opponents. It's just a flat reassertion of their ideology. And if you follow gender criticals for long enough, you will see that they do this constantly.
You should not stand for those keeping you away from genuine relief and contentness
You are right. I will not stand for that. Which is exactly why I I ignore people like you. Because YOU are the one trying to keep trans people from the relief and contentment that transition is known to bring.
The relevant facts of the matter are:
- A treatment exists.
- The treatment works.
- The treatment is safe.
The only reason you are arguing is because you personally don't like the treatment.
And your opinion on other people's healthcare is irrelevant, and something you should keep to yourself.
Because they have tried everything else, it didn't work. We've done all the things you are asking. We have tried every therapy you can imagine. It's not effective.
You are working on the assumption that there is some other treatment that works that we are just ignoring. What exactly do you think it is?
The truth is that transition works, it alleviates distress, and it's a very simple and safe treatment option.
okay, I acknowledge that maybe it’s not prohibitively expensive for the end user.
No.
Acknowledge that you were parroting a ridiculous conspiracy theory.
There is not enough money in this to justify what you are suggesting.
You don’t think the development of new products to sell you also makes money for other companies in the chain?
What new products?!
It's testosterone and estrogens, that's it.
They have to develop the product, ways to harvest or synthesize the chemicals in it, deliver it, test it, and refine and iterate upon it.
Every drug and procedure trans people take was developed for cisgender people first.
There are basically zero new, trans-specific products.
I cannot say this strongly enough: what you are saying is a ridiculous conspiracy theory that has zero basis in reality.
we should be approaching the whole issue in a way that helps people realize that they don’t have to change to be themselves.
That is literally the first thing the majority of transgender people try. Usually for years if not decades, before they finally accept who they are and transition.
No no, don't move the goalposts.
You made a claim of conspiracy, that people are being lead to transition because the treatments "rake in ridiculous amounts of money and would bring in more money than just fixing their real issues".
That claim is complete nonsense, and you pulled it out of your arse.
Acknowledge that.
they’ve fooled everyone including you, and it’s all for money, because these “treatments” rake in ridiculous amounts of money
No they don't.
Most HRT is less than $50 a month. And trans people make up 1% of the population. Surgery is expensive, but even fewer trans people get those, they tend to be one-offs, and are only performed by a few specialists.
In comparison, therapy costs $100 a week.
You think medical and research organisations in countries all around the world are all risking their reputations to obscure the truth on a highly scrutinised treatment, in order to... Make less money than if they suggested therapy? To take less than fifty bucks a month from one percent of the population?

Worth noting that particular subreddit appears to be pretty heavily astroturfed. To the point where some detransitioners created r/actualdetrans to get away from the TERFs.
